Facelift

Many of us can empathize with looking in the mirror and suddenly not recognizing the face looking back at us. There are influences that play a part in the appearance and contour of our face. Whether it is environmental damage, genetics, or simply the normal aging process a facelift can help turn back the hands of time. If you have deep wrinkles or loose, sagging skin on the face or neck, you are probably a good candidate for a facelift. 

Facelifts have been performed by plastic surgeons for decades. In recent years there have been many advances in techniques utilized by plastic surgeons. 

A facelift not only tightens the skin, but most importantly, it tightens the muscles under the skin to help restore the lost muscle tone. When you have a consultation with one of our board certified plastic surgeons they will be able to recommend which of the latest techniques can be tailored to your individual needs. If your surgeon feels you are not ready for a facelift, he may discuss other options available to you to achieve your desired result.
 
Incisions are placed in or near the hair line, making them virtually unnoticeable to the untrained eye. The facelift procedure is performed on an out-patient basis, meaning you go home the same day of surgery. In some cases, additional procedures will be done in conjunction with the facelift, such as neck lift, brow lift, facial peels or laser. You will experience bruising and swelling after the procedure. This should subside within a couple of weeks. 

The ideal facelift result is to provide you with a firmer and rejuvenated look. 

The facelift is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. You will be given a cost estimate of your entire surgical fee at the conclusion of your consultation.
